So glad to see Martin also put debt issues linked to mental healtg

Having lived with someone who suffered depression which I did know it has put my child and I under duress. I never had debt or other issues previously. With no savings and no access to credit in case in emergency I can say we have really suffered at times.about time this came to light.

    I think money worries and housing are a real cause of mental health issues and depression too - rather than being a consequence.

    Living in private rented accommodation with no long term security for your family - as is becoming more common now as house prices are so unaffordable - is not good.
